Registering your pet in Adelaide
In South Australia, all dogs must be registered with their local council by 12 weeks of age, and cats by 6 months of age (or before sale or transfer). Registration fees vary by council and are generally discounted for desexed animals. Microchipping is compulsory for all dogs and cats before registration. Contact your local council for current fee schedules and renewal deadlines.
